A Quote by Ezekiel Elliott

This is a physical game, and that's how you have to play. When you do that, the defense eventually gets tired of tackling you.

As the game goes on, I get better and I can see the defense getting tired. That gets me hyped.

Derrick Henry

We're not interested in bombarding our users with, 'Hey, play this game, play this game, play this game.' It gets annoying, it gets in the way of messaging, and it gets in the way of staying in touch with people who are important to you.

Jan Koum

I developed my game a lot and learned how to score off the dribble. I learned how to play team defense and one-on-one defense.

Khris Middleton

We want to play a really physical style ball, and so, for us tackling, we know we are shoulder-based tackling team, and we want to hit that strike zone just like you're throwing fastballs into that catchers' mitt just as hard as you can.

Dan Quinn

Defense not only wins games; it's what gets you on the floor at every level you play at. Once you get to high school and get to college, if you don't play defense, you won't play.

Avery Bradley

When you play defense what happens is everybody pays attention and they start talking about how you're the stopper, you can stop this guy. All of a sudden your game gets better on the offensive end and you become that versatile guard that everybody wants.

Gary Payton

It's not always fun. It burns inside to play defense. But you have to keep working and eventually defense is something you get used to.

Kevin Knox

We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that's when you know it's game over.

Steve Yzerman

It's fun to play defense. It's fun to watch the opponent sweat on offense, start complaining to the officials, and eventually be taken out of the game because he's making so many offensive mistakes

Maury John

I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.

Paul Pierce

My mental approach is totally different. My coach predicated everything on defense. He always talked about defense, defense, defense. I took it to heart that if you play defense, you can take the heart from an offensive player.

Eric Williams

There's only one way to play this game since I was a little kid - play fast, play physical, play strong.

Luke Kuechly

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

John Wooden

I defend just like my brother Todd lived. He taught me how to play defense by the way he lived his life. I defend like every game is my last game, like anything can be taken away at any moment, and that's what my brother taught me. That's what he always preached to me, so that's how I believe the game should be played.

Marcus Smart

In football, every play, play after play, there's that physicality. Football players only play once a week, so they must really need to rest. That does kind of tell you how physical the sport is. But in hockey, you have the boards. I just couldn't say which is more physical.
